The Empire Builder is one of America’s great train adventures – it’s a long-haul train route that travels all the way from Chicago to the Pacific Northwest. But you can get a little taste of what this trip is like without needing a sleeping car, a fat wallet, or much time. Just head to Portage and book a ticket to the Wisconsin Dells – it’s a quick journey that offers some nice views and you’ll be able to say you rode the Empire Builder!
Schedules, tickets, and full information about the Empire Builder can be found on Amtrak’s website. If you can’t make the Empire Builder, here’s a scenic train ride that will also serve you a fancy dinner.
